A Day at the Beach!

Ok, so more like an hour at the beach, but it was still a great way to spend a Wednesday morning!  On our first real trip to the beach, I came to a realization...the beach definitely needs to be a "family" event.  I carried Reagan in one arm and a huge load of stuff in the other.  It was one of those moments where I really missed Jason's extra hands to help!  I'm sure I looked like quite the yard sale toting the diaper bag, 2 towels, one pail and shovel, a water bottle for each of us, my camera, Reagan's hat, bathing suit, and swim diaper, and a sun shade (just in case).  Despite that debacle, it was a great trip.  We met up with Maureen and Sean Patrick and enjoyed the beautiful weather and warm water of the Atlantic.  Here are a few pictures from our adventure:

Maybe I should eat this...

Water baby:)

One of my new favorite pictures

Sean probably ate a pound of sand...and loved every bite!

When these two get married, we can put this picture in their wedding slideshow!

He's thinking something really important right now...

Two words: Sand EVERYWHERE!

On our way home, Reagan passed out before we even crossed the bridge back to Sneads Ferry!  She had  too much fun!

    Such a fun playdate. I think the one of Reagan is a framer!

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
